In between his stint as bass player and arranger for Gary Puckett & the Union Gap and his emergence as one of Nashville’s leading songwriters (Lee Greenwood’s “I.O.U.”; George Strait’s “You Look So Good in Love”; Reba Mcentire’s “You’re the First Time I’ve Thought About Leaving”), Kerry Chater cut two albums for Warner Bros. that enlisted some of the West Coast’s top session and producing talent and have since become minor classics of the singer-songwriter “light mellow” genre. Both Part Time Love (1977) and Love on a Shoestring (1978) were produced by the legendary Steve Barri (Grass Roots, Turtles) with assistance from fellow former ABC/Dunhill staffer Michael Omartian (co-producer of “We Are the World” with Quincy Jones), and featured both legendary jazzmen like Ernie Watts and Victor Feldman and more rock-oriented studio stars like Jeff Porcaro (Toto) and Mike Botts (Bread). Love on a Shoestring makes a long-overdue, worldwide CD debut here, with notes by Gene Sculatti (who was working at Warner Bros. at the time) featuring fresh quotes from the artist. Another Real Gone find!
